MedicinesComplete offers sophisticated authentication mechanisms for multiple user subscriptions known collectively as federated access management methods. These rely on the users' organisation or another trusted party to validate access to MedicinesComplete. Access methods currently available include the Athens service from Eduserv, Shibboleth from Internet2, and Single Sign-On using industry standard protocols. Shibboleth and Athens access is provided via OpenAthens (from Eduserv) and membership of the UK Federation. Shibboleth allows for access via your home organisation through the UK Federation site or through your own organisation's site. In addition to the above methods MedicinesComplete also supports access via username and password, IP address validation and Geolocation validation.
The majority of the content on MedicinesComplete is available for licensing, allowing end users to integrate information into their systems within intranets or private networks. Integration of subsets or 'nuggets' of data within health information systems is also possible plus decision support, GP or pharmacy systems have the additional advantage of being able to link from integrated content to full MedicinesComplete data.
